Wow....I don't know much about the area but that's a big chuck of Oregon leaving for greener pastures.


Five Rural Counties in Oregon Vote to Become Part of Idaho


Five rural counties in Oregon have approved measures to leave their current state and become part of Idaho.

Voters in the counties of Malheur, Sherman, Grant, Baker, and Lake clearly expressed their desire to take tangible steps toward redrawing the borders on Tuesday. Two other rural Oregon counties, Jefferson and Union, voted in favor of similar measures last year.

Activists in the "Greater Idaho" movement—officially named "Move Oregon's Border for a Greater Idaho"—have spearheaded these efforts to achieve greater representation in a government that shares their culture and values.

A wise man uses it to scratch his balls.

Yeah, that was the plan with 51, but they blew it by playing the libs game of court tag, till we ran out of money.
This is the latest movement and it actually has promise.

There's also a movement here in western Minnesota to become part of South Dakota.

I'm beginning to think it might be a whole heap easier to just shoot the sons-a-bitches rather than keep trying to run from em. They might finally get the notion that we don't really want to be associated with em anymore.

I would like my county, Montgomery, to leave Pennsylvania and become a part of Hawaii.

If I'm going to dream, I'm dreaming big.  :smile:

My daughter tell me it's a nice place to visit.  I sent her and her girlfriend there for high school graduation for two weeks.  She goes to Hawaii every year for a play week.  But she said no way in hell would she live over in Hawaii.

Is Bend in one of the counties?

Seriously, this looks like a steep hill to climb. First, the citizens would have to vote for this. Then there would be lawsuit after lawsuit fighting this. Finally, the state of Idaho would have to approve it. That being said, it is a sane idea.

They know it's all uphill, but what they've created keeps growing.
